Introduction
We are looking for enthusiastic engineering students to join the Software Department and contribute to exciting projects in telecommunications and beyond. Cambridge Consultants has a rich history in satellite and cellular communications, and as we expand our capabilities to include innovative new communications systems, we are looking for individuals who can contribute to real-world solutions for our clients.
Successful candidates can join us between May-September 2027. There is no deadline for this role, as we recruit on a rolling basis. Once the position is filled, we will close the advert. We encourage you to apply as soon as possible.
Your Role
From day one, you’ll be an integral part of our multi-disciplinary development team, tackling real technical challenges while receiving guidance and training from experienced engineers. You’ll gain access to designing and developing embedded software to the highest possible standard.
Each project is different, and you will get involved at all stages of the development lifecycle.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
We can’t talk about everything we do, but here are some of our past projects we get excited about:
- Delivering 5G broadband from the stratosphere using a revolutionary high-altitude platform (HAP) communication system.
- Beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) communications to safely control uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) - solving a fundamental challenge for the global drone industry.
- A low-cost Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) radio module that makes digital broadcast radio accessible to all - especially for the third of the world’s population that have no access to the Internet.
What You'll Be Doing
During your internship, you will likely:
- Design, develop, and test embedded software for complex systems used in both terrestrial and non-terrestrial communications networks.
- Contribute to a wide range of projects that span the full software development lifecycle.
- Collaborate with a multidisciplinary and supportive team, gaining exposure to systems involving digital electronics, FPGAs, RF and optics.
- Work with industry best practices such as continuous integration, automated testing and analysis, and model-based systems engineering.
